Audrey Jackson, LMSW

Audrey Jackson, LMSW (Licensed Master Social Worker), is a Michigan-based licensed clinical social worker who helps clients clarify purpose and build practical skills to reach life goals. She focuses clinically on anxiety and depression and uses a strengths-based, client-centered approach to help people identify meaningful goals and the resources they need to meet them.

Audrey has experience providing care in telehealth settings, community mental health programs, residential treatment, job training initiatives, and home-based elder services. She works with elderly adults, foster care families, and adult men and women, and she is attentive to how domestic relationships and social stresses can shape responses and coping. Her interventions include anger management, psychotherapy that explores family and interpersonal dynamics, and trauma-sensitive counseling.

Drawing on cognitive behavioral techniques, Audrey helps clients examine patterns of thinking that influence choices and everyday functioning. She also supports those facing housing or food insufficiency, coordinates with local DHHS resources when needed, and provides assessment and support for substance concerns, panic disorder, self-harm reduction, severe mental impairment, and social anxiety. Audrey encourages clients to take the first step toward change and supports practical, skill-based progress along the way.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Audrey Jackson integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to support clients in online sessions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and the client's own goals - it helps people build confidence, clarify values, and pursue meaningful change. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress while improving daily functioning.

She also draws on elements of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) when clients need skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills can be especially helpful for managing intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Audrey works with each client to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress is made. Online therapy offers practical flexibility - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow clients to fit care into busy schedules, maintain continuity when travel or mobility are concerns, and access consistent support from licensed professionals regardless of location.
